“The meek shall inherit the earth”
Meekness is despised, Yet it underlies the thinking of those on both sides. Those who blame Zimmerman make him out to be lacking in it, those who blame Martin make him out to be lacking in it (I think the evidence supports this view).
The larger tragedy here is that simple virtue- which all men do learn in their life- is condemned or ignored in the discussion of this event. It is hard to teach a young man meekness without destroying their spirit but it is done all the time.
Hopefully before they jump someone with a gun for asking them what they’re doing.
Amen!
There is a gang sign for that.
The current story is about an empty bag.
That's one of those "Trigger Words' ~ empty means empty. All means all. None means none.
I can believe a kid could get expelled for having an empty bag ~
That, btw, is one of the big reasons to eliminate public schools.
Exactly. And more than likely, the little darling was destined to be blown away by one of his fellow thugs anyway.
Great article.
We each have a blind spot. It appears to me that in the encounter between Zimmerman and Martin, ego met ego, pride met pride, and blind spot met blind spot.
I don’t even know what my blind spot might be, even though a few recent dramatic events should have taught me. Did my blind spot contribute to the defeats? I don’t know.
LOL!
I forgot....the only (AP) course Obama ever took was Teleprompter.
My view is that Cpt. Zimmerman was conducting his duties as an officer in the Neighborhood Watch and observed Trayvon Martin wearing his hoodie, tattoos, gold teeth and casing houses.
If you listen to the 911 tape, Cpt. Zimmerman reports that Trayvon was walking, looking at houses and looking suspicious.
Cpt. Zimmerman, fulfilling his duty began to question Martin when Trayvon violently attacked Zimmerman.
"...the other was a mostly model student."Ecxcept for the discipline problems.
And the drug problems.
And being suspended from school.
And living out on the streets and not coming home for days and nights in a row.
Ah. I see. Well, let’s not waste electrons, then.
Politically based assumptions again take the forefront.
Perhaps the entire story is as honest as Tawana Brawley.
Maybe this is only a story because none of these people wants to confront the enemy in the White House about what he is doing to America and this sideshow is giving him and his Cabal cover.
Take color out of it and we have a confrontation and physical assault that ended up with one of the participants injured and the other shot. How is this of any national interest unless there is an orchestrated cover for the real bad deeds done by the administration.
LOL Now we have the full sign developed by 0bama for his 0ccidental thesis.
Not bad!

Thesis:
” Head Up My Rear; Allegorical Allusion, or Practical Reality ? “
“Did my blind spot contribute to the defeats?”
Sure, but don’t get hung up on it. That delays the learning process. I may change my mind later- I have before- but nearing 60 I think the purpose of life is mostly accepting what fools we are.
“The other was a 28-year-old who seems to have been belligerent.”
What a load of CRAP. He followed the kid. Does this guy know what happened? Was he there? NO.
Yet he spouts off the lib media narrative. Why not go full throttle like Santorum did, and call the guy “sick” and “malicious”?
New information since this was written makes this article a bit off base.
Of course it’s not about Trayvon. It’s about getting Obama re-elected. Black entitlement by virtue of victimhood, played to contrive a “right” to have a black president for another 4 years.
